6. 4ENGOJBI had simcha gedola (much joy) that I have found some of your Banim with a walk which is Halakhah b'Derech Emes (Conduct in the Way of Truth), just as we received a mitzvah (commandment) to do so from HaAv.BSBBSB: I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
7. 5ENGOJBAnd now I beseech you, Gevirah, not as a mitzvah chadasha (new commandment) I am writing you, but that which we had meyReshit (from the Beginning): that we should have ahavah (agape) one for the other,BSBBSB: And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
8. 6ENGOJBAnd this is ahavah, that we should walk with a halichah according to the Mitzvot of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; this is the mitzvah just as you have heard it meyReshit. You must walk in it.BSBBSB: And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

9. Beware of Deceivers

10. 7ENGOJBBecause mat'im rabbim (many misleaders, deceivers) have gone out into the world, the ones not making the Ani Ma'amin hoda'ah (confession) that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua habah b'basar (has come in bodily flesh); this one is HaMat'eh (the Deceiving One) and the Anti-Moshiach.BSBBSB: For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
11. 8ENGOJBWatch out for yourselves, lest you lose what we worked for, but may receive a sachar maleh (full reward).BSBBSB: Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
12. 9ENGOJBEveryone who runs ahead and does not remain in the torah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach does not have Hashem; the one remaining in the torah of Moshiach, this one has both HaAv and HaBen.BSBBSB: Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
13. 10ENGOJBIf anyone comes to you and does not bring this torah, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him Drishat Shalom.BSBBSB: If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
